Faith

If you want to understand what it means to have faith, this photo describes it perfectly. 

There is a core inside you that has a constant swirl of emotions surrounding it. The emotions can change from moment to moment, but the core remains steadfast. The core is your soul. 

When you accept that you have a soul, you can manage the swirls that are inevitable in one's life. You can manage the swirls because you have faith. Faith that all things happen exactly as they are suppose to...good and bad. Faith that God, the universe, Creator, higher power, or whatever you may call it, is managing everything...good and bad. Faith that when you believe without a shadow of a doubt that you have a soul then life gets easier to take...good and bad. 

No one is free from having good and bad in their life. Don't say "why me?", say instead "why not me?". It took many generations of karma for us to have the world that we see today. A balance must be kept by divinity whether or not it is accepted or understood.

We are given numerous opportunities on a daily basis to have faith and to recognize our soul. Fear of what we cannot understand deters us from seeking our soul. Faith doesn't involve fear. It involves trust. Trust in yourself. Do the work there and the rest will fall into place. This I know for sure.
